Re: Error running initdb

The reference to /etc/init.d/postgresql was taken from the posting you
pointed me to - I was just trying to determine what part, if any, of
that posting was relevant to my problem.

Running configure with "--without-rpath" seems to have fixed the
problem.

Thanks.

/etc/init.d/postgresql? Erm, that's a system startup script, which will
be run by root. You're not running pgsql as root, are you? Or you're
saying pgsql is being run under your user i.d.? Either way: I think the
answer to your question is "Yes."

Anyway, you were talking about initdb, not postmaster startup at boot.
If you're setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH and there's not a permissions problem,
that should be sufficient.
